Countdown

We're on the countdown...only two more weeks until we head back to the states. I truly can't believe our time here is almost done! I don't think the reality of it has set in...the only thing we can think about are alll of the things we still need to see and do! So, needless to say, we are frantically (well, me being the frantic one) trying to figure out our last few weeks here.

Believe it or not, I have no pics to post this time. But, we have had a few things going on...

First, we had to get rid of our puppy. We called and talked to the airline a couple of times and found it was going to be impossible for us to get the puppy out of the country. Hmmm, maybe something to think about BEFORE one buys a puppy in China. Anyway, one of the kids in Trav's class gladly took him and offered to send us pics of him every week...hee hee.

Trav is just finishing up with teaching two English camps for kids. He is getting paid a lot for it, but I didn't really see much of him for two or three weeks (because he still had his internship as well). It has been a good experience and he comes home with hilarious stories about the kids daily. The kids sure loved him...he came away with several gifts and gets emails regularly from them.

My brother, Greg, and his girlfriend, Amber, just left Beijing today. We had a blast with them over the past week and wanted to thank them for visiting. We did a lot of sight seeing, shopping, dining, and Amber and I had a massage yesterday (2 hours for $12...you can't beat that)!

Last, and definitely not least, Trav and I celebrated our eighth anniversary on the 12th. Three of our birthdays and our anniversary were celebrated in China this year! The Jagodas watched Kaleb and Barrett while we went out to eat at a Brazilian BBQ and then went for a walk in a park. It was so great...it was the first time we had been out alone since we have been in China.

Ok, that's it for this week...
